Overview
- Philadelphia confirmed Tuesday it had parted ways with president Daryl Morey after a second‑round sweep by the Knicks.
- Bob Myers will run basketball operations in the interim and lead the search for a new chief, and the team said Nick Nurse will remain head coach.
- Ownership scheduled a Thursday news conference with Myers and Josh Harris, signaling a quick pivot to hiring and roster planning.
- The next hire must navigate a tight cap picture built around Joel Embiid and Paul George, stricter CBA penalties for high spenders, and ownership’s push to stay under the luxury‑tax line.
- Trading Embiid is viewed as unlikely this summer because of his hefty deal through 2028 and recurring injuries, while frustration over the Jared McCain trade underscored wider discontent with recent moves.
